Reverse 66

Site Q figured it was about time for YHC to take his turn at kicking off everyone’s work week. It went something like this…

During the brief disclaimer, YHC made an offhanded comment that we’d see what we could come up with. This was taken by some of the PAX to mean that YHC didn’t have a plan. This was both hurtful and untrue. YHC would work this emotional distress out by beating down the PAX the way the Q was beaten emotionally.

The Pledge

Mosey to the park

Stopping at the top of the parking lot, we did the Reverse 66. From previous workouts, YHC knew there were exactly 11 islands in the parking lot. Instead of a 1, then 2, then 3 count at each island, the PAX would start at 11, then 10, then 9, working down to 1 at island 11. Amazingly the math still works out to 11s. The exercise… Perfect form merkins. This was well received.

Mosey to the shelter for some picnic table work
Step Ups x 50 (25 each leg)
Dips x 10
Mtn Climbers x 10

Step Ups for 1 minute
Dips x 15
Mtn Climbers x 15

Step UPs for 1 minute
YHC had planned to go back down to 10, but a PAX said Dips x 20. Didn’t want to look soft, so Dips x 20 it would be
Dips x 20
Mtn Climbers x 20

Mosey to the soccer field behind the playground.
Four Core-ners
Corner 1: Crunchy Frogs x 10
Corner 2: Crunchy Frogs x 10, Flutter Kicks x 20
Corner 3: Crunchy Frogs x 10, Flutter Kicks x 20, Dying Cockroaches x 30
Corner 4: Crunchy Frogs x 10, Flutter Kicks x 20, Dying Cockroaches x 30, LBCs x 40

Time to run it back with Non-Stacking Reverse Four Corners. This was met with silly chatter and questions, but if you think about it, it’s pretty clear
Corner 1: LBCs x 10
Corner 2: Dying Cockroaches x 20 (YHC may have said Crunchy Frogs which caused more confusion and silly chatter, but YHC was probably just thinking about the complaining that was coming with 40 Crunchy Frogs)
Corner 3: Flutter Kicks x 30
Corner 4: Crunchy Frogs x 40

Mosey back towards the flag

At some point stop at the light post for Squats x 5. Did this a couple of times on the way back.

Made it to the flag at 0615

The Forgotten Highlander (Crossroads 9-17-2023)

Great to have fall weather back!  Some ran and some rucked I think but we all got better hopefully.  Small crowd but quality was abound!  Afterwards we moved inside for a lesson on the luckiest (or unluckiest according to your perspective) man in WWII.  We reviewed The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urquhart a Japenese POW that actually built the bridge on the river Kwai.  This was a story about the ultimate in human will and survival and I would highly recommend you check it out.

Announcements:  2nd F Lunch 9/20/23 @ Pita Wheel Gastonia / Tuna 200 (10-20-23) could still use runners
